formal challenge of a property\u2019s assessed value established by the Assessor\u2019s Office. By filing an Assessment Appeal Application, you are disagreeing with the Assessor\u2019s assessed value and are requesting a hearing before either an Assessment Appeals Board or Hearing Officer. Please be prepared to\u00a0<a href=\"\/county-executive-office\/clerk-of-the-board\/preparing-for-your-hearing\/#valuing\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"false\">submit information supporting<\/a> \u00a0 your opinion if requested by the Assessor\u2019s Office and at the appeal hearing proving the Assessor\u2019s Office value is incorrect.

To assist you in understanding the appeal process and prepare for an appeal hearing, it is strongly recommended you review the Resources and Literature section, below.<\/p><p>Additionally, it is important to know an Assessment Appeals Board or Hearing Officer can decrease as well as increase or sustain (not change) an assessment based on the evidence presented at the appeal hearing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a32ab5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a32ab5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Important Information<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d92e38 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d92e38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"color: #339966\">New Property Identification Numbers<\/span><\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;font-size: 16px;font-weight: normal;line-height: 24px\" role=\"heading\" data-uw-rm-heading=\"level\"><span style=\"color: #339966\">The Assessor has changed how they identify certain properties on the Assessment Roll.

A Base Value change is tied to a specific date, is permanent, and has a limited window to file a formal appeal. Below are some examples of a Base Value change.<\/p><p><strong>Appeal of a Base Value<\/strong><br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>The notice of a Base Value change is called a\u00a0<em>Notice of Supplemental Assessment<\/em>, received from the Assessor\u2019s Office. The time limit to appeal is\u00a0<strong>60 days<\/strong>\u00a0from the date printed on this notice. If you disagree with a Base Value, appealing within the 60 days of the N<em>otice of Supplemental Assessment<\/em>\u00a0is the ideal situation for maximum possible tax relief.<\/p><p>If the 60 day deadline to appeal is missed, there is a second chance to file an appeal. A\u00a0Base Value change can be appealed during the\u00a0<strong>Regular Filing period of the following 4 years<\/strong>\u00a0after the Assessment is enrolled by the Assessor. See the tab on\u00a0<em>Regular<\/em>\u00a0assessment for the Regular Filing Period dates. This is not ideal, as any potential tax relief would only apply beginning in the year the application was filed, and not go back to prior years. This is known as a\u00a0<em>Prospective Base Value Appeal<\/em>. As any tax relief would only apply beginning with the year the application is filed, you should file as early as possible within the 4 year window. After 4 years has passed, a Base Value can no longer be appealed.<\/p><p><strong>Why was a new Base Value Established?<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Change of Ownership Reassessment<\/strong><br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>When an event occurs that results in partial or full change in control of a property, the Assessor may issue a reassessment typically effective as of the date of a document being recording or the date of a death. The Assessor determines a new market value of the property as of this date. If there was a 100% change of ownership, a full market value will be Enrolled by the Assessor. If there was a partial change of ownership, the Assessor will Enroll a blended value, combining the old Base Value and the new Base Value.<\/p><p>You can appeal the Assessor\u2019s determination that the property changed ownership, if you believe the property should not have been reassessed due to qualifying exclusion. This is done on the Assessment Appeal Application in section 6, by marking Box B-1.<\/p><p>You can appeal the Assessor\u2019s Value determination as well, if the value they enrolled is not what you believe to be a fair market value as of the event date. This is done on the Assessment Appeal Application in section 6, by marking Box B-2. Please note, if the Assessor Enrolled your full purchase price as a Base Value, this is typically considered correct and very difficult to challenge. Please review California State Board of Equalization\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/boe.ca.gov\/proptaxes\/pdf\/rules\/Rule2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Property Tax Rule 2 - opens in new tab\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"\" data-uw-pdf-br=\"1\" data-uw-pdf-doc=\"\">Property Tax Rule 2<\/a>\u00a0for more information on how value as of a purchase date is determined.<\/p><p><strong>New Construction Reassessment<\/strong><br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>When construction is completed on a property, this is an event that qualifies for a permanent increase in the Base Value. The Assessor typically adds the full market cost of construction to the Assessed value, and establishes the new Base Value. The event date is typically tied to the date construction is completed. This can be appealed on the Assessment Appeal Application in section 6, by marking a selection under \u201cC\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-619a173 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"619a173\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-395b6d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"395b6d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Deadlines can not be extended.
